Kizilcik Serbeti

I only started to watch this series because I am very bored. First few episodes were fine but by the 5th episode I cant stand to continue this series. First it looks like they aim to bring people together but soon we realise they try to convey a horrible picture about both the beliefs mentioned in the series and ignite strife between the two parties living in the same country.

The series seems more illogical the more episodes you watch and continuously derogates the beliefs of several people. It has been an ok 5 episodes but the more I watch the more illogical it becomes, watching is becoming too irritating. The 10/10 reviews are probably from world haters who can't live in a world of differences just like the writer of this series.

At first, I was excited about a drama that describe cultural differences and the possibility of coexistence with love and respect, which was interesting. However, it later became clear that the creators of this series were biased toward a particular party, showing the other party in an extremely negative light. Not only that but also mention other countries in negative way, this is unjust and unfair to the religious communities in Turkey and around the world.

Every society has its positive and negative aspects, and the shows and drama should remain neutral to ensure the Presentation of an enjoyable and entertaining program without provoking the viewers' emotions.

Overall, I like this show and certain characters are a joy to watch. Hats off especially to the actors who play Nursema and Omer (outstanding acting). However, the male lead Fatih has been a major problem from the start. Because of him, I don't enjoy the show as much as I want to. I also don't like the actor playing him -- he lacks charisma and has no chemistry with the female lead who plays Doga.

Fatih is a very unlikeable character who has no respect or empathy for his pregnant wife Doja. These two don't even seem to like each other so I am not sure why they are together. Fatih is mentally (and borderline physically) abusive. He keeps stressing Doga out and always puts his family over her. Now he's cheating (at the FIRST opportunity).

I don't care how much Fatih begs or what he does after this, he's irredeemable and cannot be trusted. I hope the writers give Doja back her self-respect by divorcing her from this poor excuse for a man. There should be no reconciliation -- but I won't be surprised if the writers reunite them (Turkish writers are notorious for doing this).

It started off so well, great cast, beautiful sets and engaging storyline but the way it ended was just heartbreaking! I mean what was the writer thinking ? So many questions were left unanswered, so many characters left to the imagination of the viewers. Sad that such a promising series ended the way it did. What was the rush to end it so abruptly? I'm sure the viewers would've liked to know the fate of the lead roles, how does the senior couple resolve their conflict? Did the writer run out of a storyline? Or was he forced to write a haphazard ending ? We the viewers will never know why we were left left guessing but it was not fair to the viewers.

I was bored one day and thought of seeing the first episode of this series, more because of Sila being in it. Best decision ever, it blew my expectations and I've enjoyed each second of it. Great plot, excellent cast and good direction. Writing never gets boring, story progresses fast and characters don't act irrationally. It's the story of millions of women in the eastern world, a breath of fresh in the dizi world. 20 excellent episodes so far.

I had my doubts at first, thinking it would be a story washed with Muslim morale, never expected it to be one that would expose the hypocrisy, the wrong and the right, the lack of humanity and empathy of the conservative world too busy to put on a show for the world but very cold and ruthless inside.

Also it exposes many aspects of the so called modern society, lack of tolerance and blown bridges of communication.

I recommend this series if you want an insight in what the clash of two lifestyles is like.
